Insurance is a crucial element of an economic system. Its future development will unavoidably induce reforms of the entire economic system. Insurance implies that entities accumulate a portion of their assets and use them to recover losses from unfavorable weather conditions and other risks. There is no other sector like insurance where the State plays such a decisive role. The State performs insurance functions and oversees respective operations. Insurance is so sensitive due to its public importance. Any insurable event is often

perceived as a catastrophe for the insured, thus giving rise to an insurable event in the national economy, and production chain gap.
Entering into an insurance contract, the insured can recover its property status quite quickly, mend disrupted business relations ties for reproduction. Considering the global nature of insurance, reinsurance and globalized economic processes in particular, it is necessary to examine each functional part of the Uzbek economic system from global perspectives.
Scholars conducted multiple studies into the role of insurance, including mutual insurance in economic and social development. Some researches determine
the position and functional role of mutual insurance in the modern insurance market, i.e.:
• mutual insurance is justified as a method for creating competitive products in the insurance market, outlining effective approaches to insurance against various risks in sectors of the modern economy [1];
• the initial pool of mutual insurance companies' funds constitutes organizational costs, guarantee capital and production capital for mutual insurance companies to cover losses and incur current expenditures respectively1;
• mutual insurance companies are proved to deliver insurance services of higher quality to its members for an affordable price by applying the reduced structure of gross insurance premium under an insurance plan [2];
• analysis covered sources of insurance law, conceptual framework, protection of customers' rights with respect to insurance companies, insurance companies, insurance process, insurance of property, responsibility and reinsurance [3];
• activities of insurance companies are analyzed from perspectives of political economy, finance, governance, law and accounting [4];
• substance of mutual insurance is unveiled [5].
The insurance market originated not so long ago in Uzbekistan. The Law On Insurance was adopted in the Republic of Uzbekistan in 1993. In 2002, the new Law On Insurance Activity was enacted, still being effective. Moreover, dozens of rules and regulations on insurance were passed.
Compulsory insurance is on the upswing. This rise resulted from laws on compulsory liability insurance of car owners (2008), employers (2009) and carriers (2015). The Uzbek insurance companies raise the volume of insurance premiums every year. There is a persistent declining trend in insurance premium concentration, i.e. insurance activities continue to grow in the regions of Uzbekistan.
It is getting clear that insurance is one of the rapidly growing industries in the Republic of Uzbekistan. However, insurance evolves not so fast as it should to

increase its potential in the overall economy. Insurance still makes little contribution to the national economic development. The percentage of the insurance sector has been accounting for 0.3-0.4 percent of GDP for 10-15 years (Table 1). It is several times as high as in the European countries, USA and Japan (8-12 percent). Unfortunately, despite a fast pace of growth, insurance is not able to catch up with rapidly rising macroeconomic indicators of Uzbekistan.
Insurance has not yet occupied its niche in the Uzbek economy. People and business are reluctant to deal with insurance companies, having little confidence in them. The potential insured are not certain that they will receive insurance coverage on a timely basis in case of insurance events. This statement is corroborated with the fact that insurance coverage of insurable events accounts for 18 percent of total insurance premiums collected by insurers for a year (Table 2).
The government provides aid and tax incentives to the insurance sector. However, as I see it, insurance companies' performance, information on new products, strategic plans for relations with customers and market actors leave much to be desired.
The insurance market experience a high concentration of actors. In particular, over 55 percent of total insurance premiums are held by only five major companies of Uzbekistan, and 76 percent in case of 10 companies respectively (Table 3).
What else distinguishes the insurance sector is that there are no regional insurance companies in Uzbekistan. Almost all of them are registered in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. However, this disadvantage is compensated with multiple regional representatives of the companies. I believe the issue cannot be totally resolved this way. Regional insurance market has the potential for further development.
The State has been paying much attention to business for the recent years. Business increased its share in GDP, concurrently experiencing a rise in business risks. Businessmen's attitude to insurance remains almost unchanged. Insurance companies also overlook the business sector. For example, neither insurance company has an insurance contract for production disruption. In the mean time, this type of insurance became quite common abroad long ago.
Having analyzed multiple statistical and descriptive materials, I found a number of alternative ways for insurance development. In Uzbekistan, as part of the State-as-the-main-reformer initiative, there are many benefits for streamlining and developing commercial insurance. Substantial support of the State can be proved by comparing data with insurance preferences and benefits in the CIS countries.
Ensuring priority development of insurance in comparison with GDP, it is necessary for the State to develop and implement alternative options of insurance based mainly on moral principles. Insurance benefits the State grants shall also be effectively utilized.
Long-standing confidence of the public can be won by developing absolutely new insurance products, which would provide tangible and financial advantages for the insurers and insured. It is also very important to adhere to the principle of equal financial rights, interest of all the parties in the ultimate goal.
Following this course, it is crucial to reasonably exercise the existing legislative framework. For example, Article 960 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan Mutual Insurance is still pending.
To set up and run mutual insurance companies in Uzbekistan, even this document will be initially enough to address the issue. Later on there should be articulated and adopted the new law On Mutual Insurance.
Agricultural insurance is one of the insurance segments that is almost absent in Uzbekistan.
The agricultural sector enters a new phase of its development, striving to higher quality and competitiveness of products, assuming an innovative course, i.e. technical and technological retrofitting and renewal, decentralized governance, improvement of market relations and increase in the export potential of the sector and profits of agricultural producers.
Agricultural insurance is voluntary in Uzbekistan. Voluntary insurance unfolds rather slowly because agricultural producers lack available funds to make insurance contributions and understanding of insurance as a mechanism for farmers to protect their financial well-being.
Considering the expertise of other countries, there shall be formulated a law on agricultural risk insurance,
which would define the legislative principles and specifics of insurance of agricultural risks, apply to agricultural property and harmonize the Uzbek laws on agriculture. The law should pursue the creation and maintenance of political, economic, social, environmental and legislative conditions for profitable performance of agricultural enterprises, increased profit of farms, development of market relations, economic and food security, strengthening of the Uzbek agricultural sector.
Mutual insurance may become the best-fit method to promote insurance in agriculture and other segments. This insurance option will allow to reduce insurance premiums, on the one hand, and raise the confidence of the insured. That is why the law should envisage this type of insurance in agriculture.
Mutual insurance is one of the insurance protection forms. Local people provide voluntary and public support to each other for centuries, when people help one of the community members on a regular basis so as to improve his or her socio-economic position. Such actions are called Hashar (Arabic word meaning 'charity'). In fact, mutual insurance principles are based on such concepts to a certain extent.
Unlike profit-making insurance companies, mutual insurance companies do not pursue profit. That is why all their reserves are kept by the founders, i.e. the insured.
Historically, the insurer and insured are the same person, thus constituting the first organizational form of mutual insurance and conveying its non-profit nature2.
As part of mutual insurance and protection of property interests, community members combine their money to make a pool of insurance funds. The right of each insured morphs into a right of joint ownership pertaining to the entire community of insured/insurers [6]. What distinguishes mutual insurance is that each insured, as a stakeholder, actively participates in administrative, financial activities of the community and has a voting right. Members of mutual insurance company can determine the company development policy, risks subject to insurance coverage, cost of services, formation of insurance reserves, etc. Tangible resources may be merged with resources of other

insured that have a similar intention to insure property interests. Such a combination takes place upon consent of the stakeholders. To create insurance products, the stakeholders make contributions to a pool of insurance funds, with each of them keeping the ownership right to the funds [7].
The main provisions of the theory of eventual needs were logically complemented by A. Manes, the German scholar who put the money saving mechanism to the forefront of the insurance theory since it allowed for contribution-based participation of many persons [8].
Scrutinizing the indicia that define the mutual nature of insurance relations, many researchers underlined, first, the equal position of the insured, second, participation of the insured in their mutual insurance company management, third, the so called solidarity ties that unite the members on the reciprocity principles [9].
The reciprocal responsibility of the community members for their insurance activity is one of the fundamental economic principles [10].
Even the State puts the national solidarity and reciprocity at the basis of the national insurance system. For example, France. There every resident pays an equal insurance premium no matter whether he or she is exposed to a risk, thus contributing to insurance coverage of those residents who live in areas exposed to various insurance risks [11 ].
Regular preventive measures are the main tool to decrease the amount of an individual contribution. Hence mutual insurance companies often resort to preventive actions as one of the main organizational measures.
The process is different in joint-stock companies. According to the Russian analysts, joint-stock company almost neglect preventive measures to reduce their risks and avoid insurable events. As a result of non-existent preventive actions, insurable events cause greater damage and detriment to the inflicted persons and subsequently inhibit the overall economic growth [12]. Currently, the same situation is observed in the national insurance market of Uzbekistan occupied by profit-making insurance companies only.
Initial phases of mutual insurance actually witnessed the fold-insurance system implying that the community
members were not supposed to make contributions but equally shared losses and expenses in case of insurable events. As economic relationships evolved, the fold-insurance system gradually transformed into a preliminary payment system. The mutual insurance method originated in the life insurance segment, since the reciprocity method was easier to implement in personal insurance, rather than property one [13].
As seen in practice, the form of mutual insurance in the USA, Japan and some European countries is not less significant and effective than its profit-making format. Currently, six in ten wealthiest insurance companies pertain to the mutual insurance segment3, with two of them operating in Japan (Table 4). The Japanese insurance market goes second in the world after the USA by amount of insurance premiums. The Japanese life insurance market accounts for about 16 percent of total insurance premiums collected in the segment worldwide4.
Nowadays, mutual insurance turns into a global phenomenon. Mutual insurance companies occupy a special niche in markets of most industrially advanced nations.
Such mutual insurance as Takaful is rather well developed in many Muslim countries. This financial tool helped not only accumulated idle resources within countries but also diversify the global financial market.
There are countries promoting the Takaful development as an alternative insurance mechanism that are in agreement with the Sharia laws and ethics [14].
Takaful, or Islamic insurance, represents a system based on mutual help principles (Taawun) and voluntary donations (Tabarru), which calls for joint and voluntary allocation of risks among the community members. Takaful constitutes a form of insurance which is

compliant with the Islamic law, meaning reciprocal guarantee in Arabic5.
Takaful lays the basis for a new line of global insurance development. Considering that the majority of the Uzbek population are Muslims, I believe it would be reasonable to introduce Takaful into the insurance system of Uzbekistan.
Some advantage of mutual insurance companies stems from the status of profit-making companies, which do not pay income tax since it does not exist as is. That is why their tariffs are lower than insurance companies offer. The difference between mutual insurance and profit-making companies are presented in Table 5.
Mutual insurance companies provide coverage only for their own members. The insured of the mutual insurance company acts as its member at the same time. A member of the mutual insurance company is not its shareholder, fund investor or stakeholder since the mutual insurance company sets up a joint-stock capital (unit investment, pooled capital) or other types of capital divided in unit investments or shares, without forming authorized capital (non-profit companies do not have authorized capital).
Agriculture is one of the most promising areas for mutual insurance.
Agriculture is a strategic sector of the economy. Its effective development mainly depends on the extent to which the State interferes into its management, and amount of the State aid. The State often uses insurance as one of the methods to economically influence the agricultural sector and recover losses of agricultural producers in case of natural risks.
Uzbekistan draws on hand-on experience of agricultural insurance in industrially advanced countries. There the State supports agricultural businesses through market mechanisms of insurance, being a component of the governmental policy in agriculture.
In other countries the State provides subsidies for insurance premiums of agricultural insurance companies, reimburses damages, arranges for the governmental system of reinsurance on

a commercial and gratuitous basis in domestic and foreign markets [15].
Following the expertise of developed countries, mutual insurance companies could play a special role in agriculture of Uzbekistan, being virtually a form of agricultural cooperation.
Mutual insurance suits farming because it rests upon ideas of community and mutual help, which are traditional for the Uzbek mentality. This may drive farmers into the insurance sector.
As globally observed, mutual insurance may become the most powerful and protective shield from most agricultural risks. Putting up a part of their funds together within a mutual insurance company, farmers do not have to give their money to someone else.
There are few insured farms in Uzbekistan so far. This especially affects farmers in years of poor crops, undermines the stability of agricultural production. The abolishment of compulsory insurance of agricultural crops eroded this type of insurance within the total volume of insurance in Uzbekistan.
Proceeds from agricultural crop insurance decreased tenfold [16]. Such a negative effect can be overwhelmed by setting up mutual insurance companies. The State should financially support farmers who participate in mutual insurance companies at least by paying some of their insurance contributions. Budgetary backing can be crucial in the emergence of agricultural mutual insurance companies which mainly cease to develop due to limited finance.
Any agricultural mutual insurance company reasonably needs to quickly erect the vertical structure at the regional and even republican level. If there is a republican system of mutual insurance companies in agriculture, this will allow to reallocate risks throughout a considerable area, thus making mutual insurance companies more sustainable. They could provide coverage in case of droughts, floods, poor crops. Insurance coverage has a little share in total insurance premiums in the national market today. Referring to the USA, EU and Japan, the indicator is expected to reach at least 80 percent of total insurance premium, which is the main advantage of mutual insurance in comparison with commercial one.
At the current phase of economic development, insurance gets more significant since business activities are influenced by destabilizing transformation, economic and environmental processes. Insurance markets of developed and developing countries demonstrate contradictory development trends. They stem from the global financial and economic crisis and its effect on national production, lower income, response of national economies to new development challenges.
It is worth mentioning that insurance has been stable in Uzbekistan for several recent years in terms of the composition of insurance market actors and components of insurance activities.
I should note some positive trends. The State intervenes insurance activities less frequently, while the regional network of branches expands. What brings hopes is a growth in the number of private companies in insurance. The regional insurance market demonstrates some growth in investing activities. However, some growth in the market volume was offset with inadequate changes in quality:
• low key performance indicators of insurance (percentage of insurance premium in GDP, insurance coverage of GDP);
• poor quality of investment mix and regional disparities in investment;
• life insurance accounts for a little share in the overall insurance portfolio.
Insurance community in Uzbekistan shall be prepared for an arduous work in order to cultivate market relations in the segment. Moreover, it is necessary to create conditions for quality indicators of insurance to grow. Doing so, the market actors should strengthen and expand the base for compulsory insurance, promote all types of agricultural insurance in all the regions of Uzbekistan, various types of voluntary medical insurance. They also should advance the educational level of insurance specialists and develop an appropriate attitude of the population to insurance.
Furthermore, domestic insurance companies should integrate with foreign ones for the sake of further development of the insurance market.
It is also very important to establish mutual insurance companies in different sectors and specifically in agriculture. Mutual insurance companies operate where commercial insurers are reluctant to work due to substantial overhead expenses and small insurance contributions. Therefore, competition should not be regarded as an obstacle since the Uzbek insurance market is not explored yet, being accessible for all willing entrants
Currently, Uzagrosugurta Company is the sole insurance company operating in the agricultural sector. In the mean time, its insurance premiums has been proceedings for the recent years from other types of insurance, rather than from agriculture. It means that the majority of farms still carry on without being insured and protected from risk exposures.

Specific features of a mutual insurance company (non-profit organization) and an insurance company (profit-making organization)
Insurance company_Specifics_
Mutual insurance company A non-profit entity aims to ensure the real insurance coverage for its members and promote the social
development as a whole.
Every member of a mutual insurance company is the insurer and insured at the same time, without igniting any conflict of interests.
Mutual insurance company makes its financial activities transparent for equal members. Mutual insurance company cannot be bought, sold, split, with the corporate policy depending on all the members.
Any individual and legal entity can accede the mutual insurance company. According to the corporate policy,
each member is allowed to invest his/her money in insurance plans, propose projects, take an active part
in corporate activities and set up representative offices of the company.
General meeting is the supreme executive body.
All the members constitute the company and have voting rights.
Mutual insurance company is not bound to obtain licenses for its activities and insurance plans.
This preserves corporate flexibility in each particular case so as to satisfy corporate interests.
Mutual insurance company has flexible pricing policy. The price for an insurance service may be lower than
_the market average because of the unity of members' goals, low administrative and other expenditures
Joint stock company Profit-making company provides insurance coverage to its customers but also strives to derive as much profit
as possible for shareholders' interests.
The insurer and insured pursue divergent interests due to different goals.
Financial transparency of the company is improbable since it contradicts shareholders' interests
and engenders the risk of customers' confidence loss.
Joint-stock insurance company can be bought, sold, split, with its policy being adaptable to owners in case of their change.
The clientele may include individuals and legal entities, but they do not participate in outlining insurance plans, joint projects.
General meeting of shareholders is the supreme executive body in joint stock companies. Its decisions cannot be argued by customers.
Profit-making insurance company shall obtain license for its activities and each insurance company. Joint stock companies adhere to a stringent policy of tariffs since the insurers and shareholders' interests _(profit from insurance operations) prevail those of customers_
